A federal judge in California has blocked President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles. Trump deployed the troops this summer, despite opposition from California's governor, in response to protests against immigration raids. US District Judge Charles Breyer ruled on Tuesday that the government had violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the power of the federal government to use military force for domestic matters. Judge Breyer has put the ruling on hold until 12 September and Trump will likely appeal.
